At 3 a.m., five off-road vehicles with white bodies painted with UN letters drove out of the peacekeeping barracks, and the yellow halogen headlights of the light source pierced the darkness.

The coordinating officer of the United Nations Mission in South Africa (UNSAB) took the first Land Cruiser, and Tang Ming and the officials of the diplomatic department took the second car, also a Land Cruiser in uniform livery . The next three five-door Land Rover Defenders, which were also painted in the same livery, were also used by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, but were temporarily assigned to the 107th Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion. Li Mu's receivers sat in the back three cars.

This is the procession that went to the port of Djibouti to meet the large army.

They set off at 3 a.m. and arrived at noon, when the troops were almost unloaded, and after a short rest, they immediately set off for the South Sudanese peacekeeping camp, planning to arrive before dawn the next day.

Because he has to pass through the whole territory of Ethiopia, when making a route and planning time, Li Mu deliberately relaxed the time, taking safety and smoothness as the first priority, and choosing a good route to take.

In fact, Ethiopia will send convoys all the way, all the way from the border to the border. With the presence of a convoy of Ethiopian military escorts, there is no problem.

Of course, Li Mu is not worried about any problems with safety.

An elite light armored force of several hundred people, that is, a light cavalry capable of taking the enemy's head for thousands of miles, is still worried about safety issues.

Out of Juba City, it takes about three hours to drive to the border between South Sudan and Ethiopia. In fact, after more than half an hour, despite the darkness around them, everyone could feel the desolation. Years of war have left South Sudan's economy undeveloped, and what it was decades ago is still what it is now.

Outside of a few large cities, there are ruined villages and deserts everywhere you look.

Even the international roads that communicate with Ethiopia are unpaved, and if it weren't for these capable off-road vehicles, ordinary vehicles would not have been able to drive far and would have to lie on their stomachs.

Li Mu sat in the co-pilot of the third car, hugged his arms and closed his eyes. Hu Fengqi sat behind the driver, wearing headphones, a laptop on his lap, and a satellite dish erected on the back side of the car. He couldn't sit idle, maintaining the communications.

Ai Fubing sat behind Li Mu, the AK-74 assault rifle was leaning against the car door, his right elbow was propped up on the door, and his chin was supported by his hand, but his eyes were always in the darkness on the right side, subconsciously vigilant.

Liu Wei was in the same car as Tang Ming, of course, this arrangement was for Liu Wei to protect the safety of the unarmed officials in Tang Ming's car, although it might seem redundant.

The last two cars were taken by Li Fengxiang and others. The land mobility of troops of several hundred men is not a small project, and sufficient manpower who are familiar with the situation is a must.

After about two hours, the convoy entered a mountainous area from a flat desert, and through this undulating mountainous terrain, it reached the border, and after that, it was Ethiopia.

As soon as he drove around a corner, Li Mu's eyes opened.

He felt a little unsteady in his heart for no reason. Except for the road illuminated by the headlights and the reinforced spotlights that hit the head car far away, there was no living thing in the desolate hills as far as the light could reach.

The sudden restlessness made Li Mu a little unable to sit still. For so many years, he never dared to take his instincts lightly. Battlefield instincts, developed by a lot of actual combat experience, are difficult to explain from a scientific point of view, but few people would take this other kind of feeling lightly.

After the convoy drove into the mountains, Li Mu's uneasiness became even stronger.

In this mountainous area, Li Mu carefully studied the satellite images. The contrast he could come up with was that the bare version of the mountainous hills on the southeast coast of our country was basically the same as this mountain. After crossing the border, it enters a flat, semi-desert area, then enters the Ethiopian plateau, then crosses again from the east, and finally enters the strip plain along the Red Sea coast, arriving at the port of Djibouti.

Approaching the border, there should be no problem, after all, the Ethiopian army, which was in civil war for almost the entire nineties of the last century, is not dry, and their presence has a great deterrent effect on some illegal armed forces.

But at half past five in the morning on this cloudy day, at the darkest time, Li Mu seemed to see demons and monsters from the darkness that came to his face!

He resolutely picked up the individual radio station placed on the center console and was about to give the order.

Two flames flew out from the left and right sides of the front, and the long tail flame and the inaudible sound indicated that it was a rocket.

Almost at the same time, a dense burst of fire suddenly erupted from the mountainsides on both sides, which was the muzzle flame that appeared when the gun fired.

"Enemy Attack !!"

Li Mu shouted at the individual radio.

As his voice landed, before the two cars in front of him could react, two more rockets were fired from the same position on both sides.

"Liu Wei!

The voice almost burst out of Li Mu's throat, almost shattering the individual radio station.

However, it was too late.

The firing positions of the four rockets were very clearly carefully arranged and the angles were very tricky. Two rockets against one car, the two in front.

In front of the two cars, the first seat was an official of UNMISS, and the second seat was Liu Wei and Tang Ming and a diplomat.

Moment.

The two were all hit, and a ball of fire exploded directly on the spot, and the fire ignited in an instant.

Dense raindrops of bullets generally spread rapidly from the two off-road vehicles that had already been hit and caught fire to the vehicles behind.

There was no time to grieve, and without waiting for Li Mu's command, the driver had already reacted quickly, increased the throttle, drove the Land Rover Defender into the side of the road, and crashed firmly into the side of the mountain on the right.

The cars behind also dodged to the sides, not all of them to the right.

Before the car stopped, Li Mu kicked the door of the 95 automatic rifle and jumped down, switched to the tactical channel at the same time, and shouted at the headset: "Establish a defensive line!"

Although there were only a few people, how could the tactical saber commandos be comparable to other troops, and they used vehicles to establish a defensive line very quickly.

However, Li Mu underestimated the preparation and strength of the attackers.

Rockets flew one after another, and just what Li Mu saw under his eyes was as many as six, all of which were two attacking one vehicle!

"Withdraw! Retreat!" Li Mu decisively gave the order.

Ai Fubing dragged Hu Fengqi, who was holding the computer, and rushed towards the darkness, and then the two of them suddenly pounced forward and fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

Their car was hit by a rocket, and the flames burst into flames.

"Boss!"

The two turned around and shouted, grief-stricken.

Under the firelight, Li Mumao's shadow appeared on his waist, and with the cover of the firelight, he turned back from time to time to counterattack, and quickly withdrew to meet them.

"The driver is dead!

Li Mu shouted at the two of them, and then the three of them retreated while fighting, and retreated against the edge of the mountain. The rays drawn by tracer bullets continued to shoot from the opposite mountainside in an extended way towards them. The neat shooting and the tacit strafing made Li Mu feel chills in his heart!

"Hurricane! Retreat! Hurry!" Li Mu gave Li Fengxiang an order.

The attackers who formed the crossfire, the firepower on the mountainsides on both sides was just right to carry out crossfire on Li Mu and others.

This is a typical valley ambush formation.

Judging from the configuration of firepower, the order and accuracy of the fire, the attackers were no ordinary armed men. They are very calm and experienced!

The terrain here is not conducive to cutting off the retreat, so they did not place a single soldier in the back at all, and concentrated all their forces and firepower on the sides, focusing on the vehicles in front, ensuring that the first round of fire knocked out the two vehicles in front, and then the fire extended to the rear!

Calm and calm!

"Boss, we're fine!"

With the sound of Li Fengxiang's report, there was a counterattack in the ravine on the opposite side of the road. Li Mu was finally able to relax a little.

However, the loss at this moment has exceeded Li Mu's expectations!

Liu Wei and Tang Ming must have died, and Li Mu saw with his own eyes that their car was accurately hit, and then directly exploded and ignited a fire. Not to mention the cars of the UNMISS officers at the front, they also directly became burning skeletons.

Li Mu's heart was extremely painful.

Together with the driver and diplomats, five people were lost at once, the largest loss ever!

Tactical saber commandos were unable to organize an effective counterattack, and the attackers had heavy firepower such as rockets. And when the unique "dong dong" firing sound of the heavy machine gun sounded, Li Mu already understood everything. The attackers were here early in the morning and even set up heavy fire positions!

When a series of 12.7mm heavy machine bullets hit the hidden recess of Li Mu and others, Li Mu decisively gave the order to continue to retreat!

He was sure that the attackers had night vision devices!

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to play so accurately!

Retreating is by no means turning his head and running, Li Mu kicked Ai Fubing away, and roared for him to retreat with Hu Fengqi, while he himself continued to counterattack with firepower there, attracting more firepower!

The 12.7 mm bullet hit the dirt in front of him, and the dust that splashed up hit Li Mu's face with pain. Li Mu would never resist, estimating the time, he also decisively burrowed into the darkness and retreated.

In the case of being at a disadvantage in any aspect, even if it was the stunned young Li Mu a few years ago, he would not choose to resist hard!

"Winds, move closer to me, your two o'clock direction!"

Li Mu took Ai Fubing and Hu Fengqi to lean their backs against a mountain bag more than ten meters high, and then took out a flashlight and sent out a long and two short light signals in the direction of Li Fengxiang.

Soon, Li Fengxiang and the rest of the people quickly approached each other.

"Are there any casualties?" Li Mu immediately asked.

"Nope. Li Fengxiang replied, "Only I was bitten by a bullet in the arm, a small injury!"

Even Li Fengxiang was injured.

The left upper arm was bandaged with gauze, and the bullet grazed and bit off a piece of flesh.

Li Mu's face was cold, and he gave Hu Fengqi an order: "Send a telegram to the headquarters of the United Nations Soviet Union to request support!"

"Yes!" Hu Fengqi immediately became nervously busy.

Li Mu pointed to the rest of the people, "Do you see the mountain bag on the left side of the road, Wind, you take two people over, without my order, you have to defend it even if you die!"

"Yes!" Li Fengxiang turned his head to take a look, and rushed over with Bian Guan Lin and Chen Yanning.

Along the way, they didn't just fall asleep, nor did they just do nothing, everyone had an impression of the terrain along the way.

The reason why we resolutely retreated here and did not retreat back could not be simpler. Further back there was the flat terrain, and it was difficult for them to escape the pursuit. And, since the attackers had been prepared, they could not have left the vehicles unprepared. On two legs, it is simply impossible to outrun a car.

And the place where Li Mu and the three of them stayed was also a mountain bag with rocks on the top, and it was at an angle to the hill guarded by Li Fengxiang's group on the opposite side.

Hold these two places, there is still a chance of survival!

Judging by the density of the attackers' firepower, the enemy who was ambushed there was definitely not less than the strength of one company! Ten rockets had just been knocked out, which was already the firepower density of an infantry company's salvo!

At this time, the distance was only five hundred meters, and they would soon catch up.

Li Mu hurriedly climbed up the mountain with Ai Fubing and Hu Fengqi and found a good position. Whoever controls the commanding heights at any time in an engagement has half the chance of victory! The convoy was crushed by the opponent's first round of blows for no more than two reasons: first, the enemy suddenly attacked, and second, the enemy controlled the commanding heights!

For reinforcements, Li Mu did not have great hopes. It is 200 kilometers away from Juba City, and even if the reinforcements set off immediately after receiving the order, it would take at least two and a half hours to arrive! The UNSAM peacekeeping force is not equipped with helicopter gunships.

Counting on government forces in the border areas, that's even more in vain. And the Ethiopian border guards are almost a hundred kilometers away from here, and the point is that they can't cross the border!

Li Mu couldn't figure out where this group of people came from! He didn't believe that the Crescent Brigade had such a strong combat effectiveness! Judging from the performance just now, the enemy's cooperation was very tacit, every step was orderly, and it was clear that they were experienced troops!

The sacrifice of Tang Ming and Liu Wei made Li Mu want to bite the steel teeth to pieces!

He could not accept such a fact.

Before there was any reaction, the people in the two cars in front of them died. How could anyone survive such an explosion, impossible.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Mu forcibly suppressed his sadness and tried his best to keep himself calm. The most important thing now is to block the enemy's attack and bring the rest back safely!

"Brethren, pay attention to the consumption of ammunition, what awaits us is most likely a fierce battle. As long as I, Li Mu, are alive, I will definitely bring you all back!" Li Mu's calm voice sounded in the communication channel.

After sending an urgent request for help to the headquarters of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, Hu Fengqi silently took off the Type 95 automatic rifle that he had not had time to remove, pulled the bolt and loaded it, climbed to Ai Fubing's side, and aimed the muzzle of the gun in the direction that the enemy was pursuing.

The only sound in the communication channel was the heavy breathing of the crowd.

In just a few minutes, the sudden start, several brothers were lost at once, and under the sudden blow, everyone slowly recovered at this moment.

Rao is a man of experience, and he will be surprised by the precise and dense firepower of the attackers. Let most of the firepower hit one point, and hundreds of people cooperate like one person, it is not something that can be done with words at all.

Without a certain amount of actual combat experience, without going through the tempering of several wars, such a unit cannot be trained at all!

Yes, be mentally prepared to die here today.

"Save the last bullet to yourself!"
